I wonder how much
A barrel of blood,

Costs in dollars...

I love you
I want you
I need you

Words that work together
Like words, such as these
Are special words to people
Because they come in threes

Other words that fit this rule
Let me see or Let me think
To some are as important
As come on in, have a drink

But at this time of Christmas
There are words that need to live
Words like Feed The Hungry
and ...oh yeah...Can you give

Now, you know how my mind works
And you know...I have concluded
But at Christmas time, my big three
are BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED !!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND HAPPY 2013

I know what I said, I know what I swore
But I can't keep the promise that I made before

I thought I could handle it after some time
But it just gets harder not getting to call you mine

I know we said friends, I know we'd agreed
But deep inside I have, Oh God, this need

I thought I just needed you, and I guess I was right
But the way I need you is the very way you try to fight

I know this isn't fair to you, with no technical wrongs
But I need to do what's right for me, should have all along

I know what I said, I know what I swore
But now I'm apologizing because I can't go back to before

I wish I ran
 until I could run no longer
until I was a starved little muscle
& everyone wanted
my picture

Do you remember
When we were just stars
Dancing in the sky
Shining bright for the universe
And wonder of its beauty

Yet one day we knew we'd fall
Right through the clouds
Of a planet that nests lovers
Like you and I
Yet so much different

They boast of passion and pain
Hunger for love
Unlike the stillness we have above
Their fire burns us and we yearn
To be like them

And so we did
Become man and woman
Bearing beating hearts
Like fire flicking skyward
Yearning for some depth in height

Yet we never knew
How heartbreak crushes us
An other worldly feeling
That compared death to a friend
Shattered like the asteroids that wandered endlessly

Do you remember
When we were just stars
Falling into earth's grasp
Our lights flickering dim
Replaced with hearts that burned

Burned like the torch of a sun
Rooting deep into veins of passion
We are reborn into a world
Of love and most of pain
Without regret of ever becoming beings of love

Nobody else knows me like you do.
And I know nobody quite like you.
When I needed love, and you were afraid,
I swallowed my feelings, and stayed.

You decided to be the best friend
And I tried my hardest to make feelings end.
But sitting in your firebird, as the rain sprinkled down,
I talked about how love is fake, you didn't make a sound.

You let me pour out my soul, as I cried right beside you.
You looked me in my eyes and said, "That might be true.
But I'm sure it's not. Every time you look at me, I see,
What love is supposed to be."

We pull up in my drive way, at a quarter until four.
Just as you opened the door, the rain began to pour.
I remembered your gift and ran inside so I could give it to you.
You opened the wrapper and smiled at me and replied, "Of course you knew."

The rain began to simmer down, and you took off your sweater,
You hugged me, and I smelt your scent, I think I like this weather.
You never paint, but for me you did, and you take my breath away.
I don't know what I can possibly do to make you decide to say,

"Don't be afraid to love, because your heart is safe with me,
I'll be your knight, and you will be my lady of my dreams.
He didn't deserve you and he let you go, I can't believe he's so dumb,
But it's okay because we both have known all along that I am the one."

Maybe I'm just overreacting, and maybe that's okay.
But in the rain, on a friday,
**I   F

             L in love again.

You take my hand
Then you let it go
You said “You are ready”
To face it on your own

It won't be easy
Sometimes you'll fall
But there will be moments
That will make it all worth-wild

You said “Be a good person”
“Never let anyone Bring you down”
And Remember to stand tall
Don't ever hit the ground

But when you do
Rise up tall
Don't ever let the world
Make you feel small

Fight for the right
Denounce the wrong
I can tell you Daughter
You are so so strong

And I know all
about your scars
Each one makes you
Who you are

And it's OK Dear
Your wars over now
Live in peace
And be proud

So I want to thank you Mother
For breathing life into me
For seeing what you see
And teaching me

For every lesson
For every Hug
And for teaching me
How to Love

Welcome to 4 A.M.

Where almost nothing ever happens and the universe sits mostly still, where indie music is life and where photography is heaven. Where silence is golden and life is absolute. Where we all wish to be, and where only a select few of us can go and handle it.

Welcome to 4 A.M.

Where we lie in limbo, waiting for the sun to come up, the moon to go down, the median between life and whats left of the dark decay of lifelessness. Where Your eyes open wide, where your thoughts wander into the void of the infinite. Where we wait to see the beginning, the middle, and the end.

Welcome to 4 A.M.

Welcome to the dead, the living, the mourning, the crying, the sad, the happy, the over energetic, the under enthusiastic, the over enthusiastic, the insomniac, the insane, the beautiful, the quiet, the peaceful, the thoughtless and thoughtful, the kind, the caring, the listeners, the wonderful and magnificent, the open minded and wide eyed sleepless.

Welcome to 4 A.M.

Where we wander, searching for answers in our sleep. Where we wait for contact and a view into what we think is the future, and where here, we wait for the future. Where we sleep only to be dreaming of our answers we are searching for and never getting the full answer to questions like-
"Who am I?"
"What am I?"
"Who do I love?"
"Who loves me?"
"Why am I here?"
"What awaits me today?"
"Who thinks of me?"
"Who are my friends?"
"Who are my foes?"
"Who are the friendless?"
"Who am I to judge someone?"
"Who are they to judge me?"
"What is left for there to question if I already know the answers to my questions?"

This is what we ask, and wait for...

Welcome to 4 A.M.

Where our mindless infinite, grows! To be ever infinite into the oblivion of exaggerated proportions and ridiculous time! Where everything meets the beginning, the middle and the end. Where life dies, starts, and lives once more for us as humanity to enjoy through one more day, for us to catch our breath, and to breathe the dead and living. For our eyes to capture the very beauty of life through blinking as if our eyes where the lens to a camera and our brains the film to feed it.

All in one quiet, peaceful, beautiful, and insane, hour. Everything lives, dies, and starts over again.

Welcome to the beginning, the middle, and the end.
Welcome to 4 A.M.
Welcome to life.

Good morning.
